Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I might be needing a lawyer today.

When we found out when my sister's surgery was scheduled - a MONTH ago - I emailed Boss and said I needed April 10th and possibly the 11th as I would be in Lansing with her.

I sent him a reminder yesterday.

This morning I get in to an email that says, "Thursday is fine. Be here Friday at the normal time."

not your mom's socks.

oh Aimee. His heart is at least three sizes too small.

may he be forced to listen to Hoos singing the same five notes for infinity.

I don't know what else to say - thus... more coffee is warranted.

You have got to be kidding me. That is just ridiculous.

Also, I'm not really sure a lawyer is going to be able to do anything, to be perfectly honest. I suspect he/she would tell you to start looking for a new job stat. Ugh, though. I am so sorry.

Do you think he'd fire you if you just didn't who up?

I'm suddenly SO thankful for my boss. I didn't go into work on Thursday because I was in a writing groove. I told him that. His response was, "Well, if you can get here for any of the time that would be helpful," but he wouldn't say, "You have to come in." So, I ended the conversation with, "Don't plan on me."

Yesterday, he came in to see how everything came together. Then we commiserated on the writing process (he's written a dissertation) and how when the writing is coming, you have to let it. I don't think you get more understanding than that. I wish for more like that in your next boss, love. This has gotten completely out of hand.

They can defend me at my trial for murder!

True! Good point.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I have no words.

Aimee's boss keeps a sledgehammer in his office.

I may have to educate him on why that is not such a good idea, coupled with a brief but impactful lesson on alternate management styles he may wish to explore.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Aimee, I hope you are sending out a deluge of resumes to any remotely interesting job within reasonable commuting distance. This guy is a jackass.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Congrats to Kansas.
